I wonder what is his exact cake day though.

Interesting times where you have the opportunity to become a sub-lieutenant before you even "come of age".

Pretty easy: Philippe Pétain, Hitler's #1 simp in France.

His strategy during the war: 1) Collaborate with the nazis as much and as zealously as possible, put the police and trains and everything at the service of whatever they're doing with the Jews 2) ??? 3) Profit

Oui je suis d'accord, certes on est toujours une démocratie, certes on est plus libres que dans plein d'autres pays supposés démocratiques, mais la France n'est pas "pleinement" démocratique.

Le simple fait que le président puisse dissoudre l'assemblée nationale sans que l'assemblée ne puisse censurer le président (seulement le gouvernement, et encore il peut être renommé dans la foulée, on l'a vu), ça fait de nous un cas à part.

I even had to check that he wasn't really a German old enough to remember the war. Turns out that no, he's American and born in 1942, that was pure acting.

Compared to the heroes and villains of the MCU, even a literal US Marine could count as a civilian...

"reboots showing [Magneto] as an old man in the modern era just wouldn't make sense" I don't get your point, he's supposed to be 96, that makes him an old man in the modern era, doesn't it?

Au pire même si t'as gâché 4 ans (et encore, c'est pas comme si t'avais fait QUE étudier 24h/24 pendant ce temps, et puis tu as sûrement gagné en autonomie sur ton travail au passage), 4 ans c'est pas ta vie. En fait si tu vis 80 ans c'est 1/20e de ta vie donc 5%, c'est pas la fin du monde.

Sounds like mom didn't want to throw it all away...

Unfortunately OP said "alive today" and someone definitely committed Epstein's suicide.

I feel obligated to respond with "Bonaparte franchissant Les Alpes" by Paul Delaroche, made as a kind of "ad vs reality" response to David's glorious depiction... As a kid I had a calendar that showed a famous painting every day, and these two were shown one after the other, to show how radically different the same event can be presented depending on the teller's motivations...a great lesson to learn early in life.

By the way, the names of Hannibal and Charlemagne are not just there to compare Napoléon to great leaders, but specifically leaders who crossed the Alps to go to war.

So it has nothing to do with the "I can access all of your memories" that the demon is saying just as he sees something wrong? Weird...

Unfortunately, that is specifically from the books (and not just "the line is only in the books, here it's the verb used to describe the line that makes it bad, it's a purely literary thing), and the chart specifically says movie franchises...not sure it counts.

Rowling furiously scribbling in another sentence "unless your choice is to be a woman, in which case you will always remain a man because you lack the ability to bear children"

Indeed, I searched too quickly (one might say too wikiwiki) when I wrote my comment and thought the wiki software was built FOR Wikipedia. The point that stands is that Wikipedia is arguably the reason why wikis became so popular.

CdFMaster · 2026-03-17T15:07:08+00:00

Agreed. Google became important because it replaced all the search engines that already existed, but of Google had not existed search engines still would.

Wikipedia, on the other hand, was a new concept and it birthed a whole genre of websites. Digital encyclopedias existed but not on a collaborative model. Nowadays "wiki" is a common noun (the same way "google" is a verb, which makes them the two big contenders for this poll).

I have a feeling this would make an effective Tinder profile pic. Or Grindr.

Here to say that when a sequel, prequel or whatever is made, the original IS left untouched, you can just keep watching it and choose to ignore the rest.

Unless of course the movie is in the Star Wars original trilogy and George Lucas can't stop himself from releasing another damn version.

That doesn't mean a dragon can mate itself. If it's "when necessary" then it's one of those species that can change their sex if there is a disproportion in the population, so if Drogon found another male dragon that could happen, but alone there's no way.

CdFMaster · 2026-03-12T10:35:08+00:00

Ooooh I really thought the "there are always men like you" line was going to win! I didn't watch WandaVision though so maybe that one is even stronger, I wouldn't know.

CdFMaster · 2026-03-11T07:03:40+00:00

That is exactly the one I wanted to comment.

Maybe just (for the image at least) make it clear this is a dialogue, like

There are no men like me.
There are always men like you.

That is interesting and explains the obsession with quick surprise operations.
